Re: Emcee
| I eventually worked out that TLA meant "Three Letter Acronym" | | TTFN (that's an FLA no doubt!) | | Graham Hamilton One of the better examples of the humor in the computer industry's "jargon file" is that the correct acronym in this case is ETLA, which stands for Extended Three-Letter Acronym. It's a great parody of how such things are often done. And note that, just as TLA is itself a TLA, ETLA is also an ETLA. -- _, O John Chambers <:#/> <xx@xxxxxxxx.xxx.xxx> + <xxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> /#\ in Waltham, Massachusetts, USA, Earth | |
